Creative Labs, Sound Blaster K3+, and Juan NERDS OUT HARD – Newegg Now Interview

He was game to talk about sound cards, and he gave us the full scoop on the new K3+ audio interface for game streamers and podcasters. I also kept him chatting about Microsoft screwing up audio for us all, and why audio might contribute to people getting motion sick while gaming. I nerded out HARD. Enjoy!

#SGGQA 037: Smartphone Buttons are BETTER than Gestures! GEEK DEBATE with Joshua Vergara and TK Bay!

Phone manufacturers are desperately working towards “all screen” handsets, going so far as to cut into the screen just to fit hardware like the selfie camera. While this is an aggressive trend, many consumers still prefer buttons. Keyboards, programmable short cuts, camera shutter buttons. In this modern age, can hardware beat software? It’s time for a debate! A GEEK DEBATE!
Joshua and TK will talk out the pros and cons, then YOU decide the winner!

Download #SGGQA 037 – Geek Debate!
